Touch (2012–2013): Season 2, Episode 13 - Leviathan - full transcript

Avram learns who abducted him and its connection to the work he was originally sent to do with Arthur Teller. Meanwhile, Martin, with a concussion, awakens in a hospital ER, learning that he was involved in a hit and run car accid...

Previously, on Touch... A
cipher and algorithmic tool

for sending and
interpreting messages.

This amulet, whosoever

possesses it shall become

the protector of the 36

righteous ones.

Jake, what's happening?

They're dying.

The procedure is perfectly safe.

CALVIN: We put these
people into medical coma.

I'm not sure "safe" is



the word that I would use.

NICOLE: At 11:00 on Thursday

our company will
release its quarterly report,

and the world will see

a $40 billion loss.

Mr. Bohm, why is it every time
I see you, someone has died?

Turns out a vendor
at the farmer's market

gave a description

of a Hassidic man in his 40s

being dragged into
a van yesterday.

MARTIN: He was abducted?

NICOLE: Why haven't
you brought in the boy?

I found you.

You said you were close.



They can't have gone far.

I don't care what you have

to do, you get them!

It's happening.

MARTIN: What, sweetheart?

What's happening?

[steady, rhythmic beeping]

[gasps, grunts
in pain] It's okay.

You're okay.

[rapid panting]

Wh-Where am I? In the E.R.

You're gonna be
fine; just a concussion.

We called back the last number
you dialed on your cell, so your friend's

been waiting for you to
wake up for a couple hours.

M-My friend? How
the hell did I get here?

Car accident.

They say it was a hit-and-run.

[panting]

My son Jake, is he all right?

I'm sorry?

My son, he was
in the car with me.

Sir, you were alone.

Look... I need to find my son.

I need to find my
son. Settle down.

I got to find my son! Settle
down. Okay! Okay, I'll go ask!

I got to find my son! I
got to find him! Wait here!

Doctor!

Patient in 318 says there was...

TREVOR: Whoa, not so fast.

Where's Jake and Amelia?

They weren't in the
car. Get my stuff.

We need to call the police.

Trevor, please,
I need your help.

Get my stuff.

WOMAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

[rapid panting]

So, where now?

I don't know. Do you
remember anything?

Nothing.

The last thing I remember,
Amelia looked up at me

and she said, "It's happening."

What, the car crash?

I don't know.

What is this? "318."

J-Jake was writing numbers
in the car before the accident.

He must have put
this in my pocket.

Trevor, you need to
take me back to my car.

We need to go to the crash site.

It's not there. I drove past it

a couple of hours ago on my way

to the hospital, and
it was being towed.

We need to find out
where they took it.

MAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

NICOLE: Pier 17.

Thank you.

They just cleared security.

They'll be here momentarily.

This is madness, you know that?

Lawrence... what did
Gretzky always say?

You skate toward
where the puck is going.

This isn't a game, Nicole.

We're about to
announce a $40 billion

shortfall tomorrow. You know how
this works... the stock's gonna tank,

and then next quarter
we'll be down $80 billion.

This is where it starts.

Trust me, we are
not too big to fail.

This is not going to happen.

We have hundreds
of trades lined up

for the morning when
the markets open.

All we have to do is punch in the
algorithm key and we're home free.

You're really gonna pin
this company's entire future

on a sequence of numbers?

A sequence that
can predict patterns

with 100% accuracy? Yes.

$40 billion is nothing.

We get the right
sequence, Aster Corps

could control the
entire global economy.

They're here.

[sighs]

I have your delivery.

And the boy's father?

You didn't pay
me for the father.

They took him to the hospital.

And-and if and when he gets out?

Say the word.

Never mind, I'll
take care of it.

I know you guys
are really scared.

But I want you to know
that we're gonna take

very good care of you.

All right, Jake?

It's okay, Jake.

Don't worry.

I have a plan.

Out. Now.

We get everything

out of that sleep
assessment facility?

Everything burned or shredded.

Nothing in that location
that can link to Aster Corps.

Yes, well, as long as
there's an investigation,

we're all vulnerable.

Meaning what? Meaning...

we're suggesting that
you consider disappearing.

No one disappears
me, Ms. Farington.

Don't even think about

pinning this on me.

Better keep an eye on this.

My God, this has gotten insane.

As chief counsel
of this company,

I have to advise
you against all of this.

Are you coming or not?

The quarterly report comes
out tomorrow morning,

one way or another.

So... no.

[car door closes, engine starts]

[car departing]

[slow, rhythmic beeping]

You just don't have any fight
left in you, do you, buddy?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

NICOLE: I thought
you'd like to know,

we have new test subjects.

You found more?

We have the ones
we've been waiting for.

I'm assuming you're with us?

Yeah.

Pier 17.

The Leviathan.

Okay.

You're gonna make it, Will.

Hang in there.

I'll be back.

Okay, thank you.

Far as they know, the
car's not a crime scene,

so all they need to see is your
I.D. and they can run the registration.

The car's not mine. What?

It belonged to a guy
named Randall Meade.

He gave it to me.

A car?

It's a long story.

Well, how are we
supposed to get in?

How much money you got?

I'm adding this
to your tab. Yeah.

Excuse me. Can I speak to you?

TREVOR: You were
lucky to get out alive.

That's the one thing
I don't understand...

Why they didn't kill me.

Maybe they thought
you were dead. Maybe.

[grunting]

[panting]: Well, right now,

I'm the last guy they
want walking around.

Were you wearing
gloves last night?

No.

Come on. I've got an idea.

MAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

Down the stairs.

[rapid beeping]

Well, glad you could make it.

Is there a problem?

No, no problem.

Let's get started.

The rebbe will see you now.

The rebbe? Mm-hmm.

Nope. Nope.

That won't be necessary.

[speaks Hebrew]

[speaks Hebrew]

[speaking Hebrew]

You have meddled with the
primal force of nature, Avram Hadar.

Rebbe, I only...

There cannot be
36 righteous people

if an outside force is
meddling with their destiny.

They must not have awareness.

They must not cohabitate.

They must not come

to possess powerful artifacts

because their power
can betray them.

Hmm? Can turn them into

instruments of death instead.

You know of what I speak,

do you not?

A device forged in
the name of healing,

which has been misused and
desecrated in the name of evil.

Your purpose was to observe,

to... report, to pray.

Instead, you have
chosen to guide, to direct...

to persuade.

And so these actions
have had consequences.

With all due respect, Rebbe,

I think that you are wrong.

Oh. I... believe
that the covenant

of the 36 was meant
to... live, breathe, grow.

I believe that the bylaws which
govern them have changed,

as humankind has changed.
Ah, I see. So then we have, uh,

hit an evolutionary
speed bump of sorts.

Yes? Uh, like your pinky toe,

is that it? Yes. Yes, Rebbe,

th-there is one
instrument in particular,

a young boy named Jacob Bohm.

He is special.

He is not... There
is no special!

So this only goes to prove

that you have grown
too close to the 36.

You have lost your perspective.

You know, there is a sequence,

one that binds and
connects all life, huh?

Yes. But it is not complete.

We don't know how
or even if it ends.

Really?

A-Are you saying that...

we have found
the entirety of it?

The whole sequence? Please.

A fingerprint on
the inside of a glove.

Unbelievable. Just
turned it inside out,

applied the ninhydrin
heptane and bam...

Big, fat, juicy latent.
Real clean, too.

Yeah, matched over 30 points.

Would've had an I.D. sooner,

but the system got fooled
by the number of hits.

Hits? Aliases.

Over here.

Five of them, to be exact.

All deep cover,
fully documented...

Social Security numbers,
addresses, tax I.D.s, the works.

See, the whole trick
to an alias is to stay

just respectable enough
to make it look legit.

See, and that's where
they screw up. [phone rings]

They end up using
a real address.

Detective Lange.

Yeah, I'll hold for him.

TECHNICIAN: Got it.

James Turner, James
Taney, Joseph T...

Joseph Tanner, 318
Ridgeley Avenue...

That's our guy. 318.

Incredible.

LANGE: Martin. Yeah.

That was my C.O.

Told me your bail
has been revoked.

What? Why? Didn't say.

Maybe someone from really
high up made a phone call.

Either way, I'm supposed
to arrest you again.

I just got an address. I
think I can find my son.

Then I suggest you
hurry up and check it out.

And when I come looking
for you, if you just happened

to lead me to some bad
guys then, uh, lucky me.

Thank you, Detective.

Thank you. Let's go.

AVRAM: Unbelievable.

It's incredible.

But, Rebbe, this means...

Yes. And today the
world will know it, too.

As you say, things change.

And humanity must be
permitted to move forward.

Either that or it's the end

of everything. So we
do not know which?

Perhaps these things

might not have been set in
motion for a few thousand years

had you been capable
of more restraint.

But if... as you say,
it all ends today,

then this boy Jake is in danger.

Rebbe, he could die.

If Jacob Bohm is
an instrument of God,

then that is all he is.

And, yes, he may die.

That is not acceptable!

Listen to yourself.

Who are you to tell
God what is acceptable?

And in the meantime,
God has chosen today

to be the day of enlightenment.

You will remain here
from sunrise to sunset

under my supervision.

You will appreciate

what it is to be an observer

and not a participant.

You will sit!

Sit!

Until you learn your place.

Come on.

MAN [over P.A.]: Final
cargo check, final cargo check.

Throw lines are
prepped and ready.

30 minutes to departure.

You guys sit here.

Everything's gonna
be okay, Jake.

Trust me.

Just be ready for my signal.

CALVIN: The sequence is
based on repeating chains

called orbifolds that cycle
off the Fibonacci sequence.

Integers of seven.

So my calculations have it
wrapping back to the beginning

to 318 in eight more digits.

How long will that take? LINUS:
How much time do we have?

First thing tomorrow morning.

Well, then we need to
accelerate the process.

Accelerate how?

Through induced coma.

Coma? No.

LINUS: It's a tested
method, Calvin.

And proven to kill. That's how
Dr. McCormick died. And I understand

that your brother
is about to join him.

You don't know anything
about my brother.

I understand that you feel

responsible for his accident.

I also understand

that the completed
sequence will tell you exactly

which pathways to choose

so that you can heal him.

Calvin?

[sighs]

Look, I can bring the test
subjects down to an alpha state

and achieve the same
results... No, no, no,

no, no. That'll take days.

Maybe weeks.

Look, you want to
save your company?

Just let me do my job, okay?

If he wants to serve them
milk and cookies afterwards,

that's fine. That's fine by me.

It would be a shame to
lose your brother now.

After everything you've done.

I see it now, Jake.

There's an 84% chance
Calvin will help us escape.

You ready?

Now.

Help!

Please!

Help!

Please help!

Please! Help!

Please!

Please help us!

What's happening?

[Jake shaking]

[grunts, pants]

Why did he do that?

Why did he do that?

Just try to keep him
calm, would you, please?

What's happening?
Is my brother okay?

No, I already know what
Dr. Milken is gonna say.

I don't care.

If we have to intubate,
then we intubate!

We take every measure to
make sure he stays alive, okay?

If anything
changes, you call me.

[whispering]: You
watch the front.

I'll make sure the rest
of the house is clear.

No one's home.

Place looks like
nobody lives here.

Yeah.

Let's start going
through everything.

Trevor.

[clicking]

[motorcycle approaching]

[engine shuts off] Shh.

Shh. [keys jangling]

[lock turns, door opens]

[door closes]

You picked the
wrong house to rob.

[stun gun clicking,
Tanner grunts]

[thuds]

Help me put him in the chair.

I'm not comfortable
with this, Martin.

You need to step
outside, I understand.

I'll see if any of these
keys open the lockbox.

[coughing]

Where are the kids?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Wrong answer. No.

Wrong guy.

I got it. Good.

Where's my son?

You'll never find him.

Where is my son?!

[grunting]

I want my son back!
I want my son back!

I want my son back!

Martin, stop! Stop!
I want my son back!

I want my son back!

Martin, shut up!

He's still breathing.

Martin, he's wearing a wire.

[both panting]

MAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

Let's go.

Martin?

Look at this... memory cards.

Looks like he's recorded every
conversation he's ever had.

All catalogued by date and time.

This one starts...
two weeks ago.

Why'd you make these recordings?

Insurance policy.

This one's marked
the day Lucy died.

Play it.

TANNER: Ms. Farington, we've
spotted Lucy Robbins' vehicle.

NICOLE: Is Amelia with her?

TANNER: Unclear.
How should we proceed?

NICOLE: We only need the girl.

The mother's a liability.

Get rid of her. Make it clean.

TANNER: Understood.

You killed her.

You son a bitch, you killed her.

No, not me.

That was your voice.

I don't get my hands dirty.

I didn't shoot her.

I just relayed the order.

TANNER: I don't
get my hands dirty.

I didn't shoot her.

I just relayed the order.

Well, look at that.

This thing works pretty good.

MARTIN: Looks like

your insurance policy's
kind of a double-edged sword.

Well, at least it will be

when it plays in court.

I'm not going down for this.

All I want are the kids back.

I gave them to Farington.

Pier 17, San Pedro,
next to a tanker.

Nicole Farington, the
CEO of Aster Corps?

That's her.

That's all I needed to hear.

You son of a bitch.

What do we do now?

I've got an idea.

Can I please speak
to Detective Lange?

[distant clack]

[men chattering indistinctly]

[chatter continues]

[chatter continues]

[panting]

Jake, what are you doing?

[distant, indistinct chatter]

WOMAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

Come with me.

Go downstairs.

Where's the exit?

I think I saw a
way out down here.

Hey! Calvin?!

Hey, what are you doing?

I thought you were
watching these guys.

I was watching them.

We've been looking
all over for you.

Yeah, I've been looking
for you, as well, okay?

Let's stop pointing fingers.

Come on, let's go. Come on.

It's not safe for you out here.

Come on.

Come on, go with him.

Come on. Come on.

It's not safe out here.

[phone rings]

Trevor, go ahead.

My mate at the EPA just
faxed over the inspection order

to the harbor master's officer.

You're Martin
Bishop, EPA inspector,

checking on sulfur
levels in the fuel load.

What if they want more details?

Oh. Every ocean-going vessel

has to comply with
environmental standards.

They have no choice
but to let you on board.

Okay, got it. Thanks.

[ship horn blowing]

[computer trilling]

[beeping]

[computer trilling]

It's happening.

WOMAN [over P.A.]:
[speaking indistinctly]

[panting]

I have clearance and
authority to board this ship.

[panting] All right, go ahead

Thank you.

[beeping]

This is great!

The engine room... where is
the engine room? Through there.

MAN [over P.A.]: Attention.

All hands, prepare to
weigh anchor in 10 minutes.

Departure time: 10 minutes.

[panting]

AMELIA: Jake.

[sobbing]: Something's wrong.

I can't feel things the
way I should be able to.

[gasping]

[engine shutting down]

Why'd the engine stop?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Never mind.

Where are we?

Uh... comas are fully induced,

blood pressure 60/50, both
pulse rates are below 48.

It's working just like
I thought it would.

The sequence is completing.

[sighs]

[sobbing]: I'm sorry, I
can't stay with you anymore.

Okay, I have to go.

I got to go, okay?

I don't understand, why?

Why are you leaving?

I'm so sorry, Jake.

You got to be strong, okay?

No, don't leave.

I'm so sorry, I have to.

Please don't go.

You're gonna be okay.

[crying]: No, no.

Come back.

Oh, no.

NICOLE: Where are you going?

I have to stop this.

No, you're not
stopping anything,

not for her, not for anybody.

This could kill her.

You stop this, it's gonna

kill your brother.
Now get back here.

It's finishing.

CALVIN: The
sequence is complete.

How did he get in here?

Go get rid of him.

Get rid of him.

Go, go, go.

Not going to be too easy.

Somebody's trying
to breach the room.

Call security. What?

NICOLE [over P.A.]: Security.

NICOLE [over P.A.]:
Security. Shut it down.

Shut it down. Stop, stop, stop.

NICOLE [over P.A.]:
Someone just entered the lab.

Step away from my
son! Stop right there.

NICOLE: Security.

DR. LINUS: Stop right
there. Stop. Stop right there.

Get away from my son now!

You shot me.

Martin.

Calvin, You shut this down now

or so help me,
God, I'll kill you.

Shut it down now!

Amelia.

What's happening?

[monitor beeping]

We're losing her.

Amelia. [flatlining tone]

[monitor beeping]

He's still breathing.

Jake,

come on, buddy, wake up, Jake.

Please, wake up.

Plug in the algorithm.

Jake, it's your
dad, I'm right here.

Wake up.

Oh, sweetie.

It's gonna be all right.

Jake...

[Jake grunts] It's
all right, it's all right.

It's gonna be all right.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

Please, Martin. I
can bring her back.

But I have to do it now.

You better not be lying to me.

Amelia.

[Amelia coughs]

It's all right, sweetie.

Just breathe. It's all right.

Breathe.

What the hell is going on?

[screams]

[phone rings]

Larry.

I don't have access.

Yes, Nicole, I know.

We're gonna get
you out of here, okay?

Just breathe.

Ms. Farington?

I suggest you turn on the news.

Larry, what's he talking about?

Nicole...

I begged you to keep
your distance from this.

You're gonna pay for
everything you've done.

TANNER [over computer]:
Ms. Farington, we've spotted

Lucy Robbins' vehicle.

NICOLE [over computer]:
Is Amelia with her?

TANNER: Unclear.
How should we proceed?

NICOLE: We only need the girl.

The mother's a liability.

Get rid of her.

Make it clean.

Ms. Farington?

I have a warrant
for your arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say or
do can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

It's all right, sweetheart.

I got you.

[Martin grunts]

Rebbe?

Please,

may I go now?

I'm going to return to
my work in Brooklyn.

You are right.

I have meddled.

I may have caused things

to evolve in
ways that I can't...

You may see yourself out.

Thank you, Rebbe.

William, we did it.

I got it.

Nurse.

Somebody!

Help!

Mr. Norburg.

Where is he? My brother?

Mr. Norburg, we tried What?

To reach you again,

but...

But what? But what?!

What, he's dead?

I am so sorry.

[men chatter indistinctly]

That's all I need for now,

but you'll have to
wait for the detective.

Thank you. Excuse me.

I'm fine.

How you feeling, sweetheart?

A little weak.

You're so strong...

and brave, both of you.

So, what happens now?

We get our lives back.

We start over.

I'm gonna keep
looking for your father.

But you'll stay with
us until I find him,

no matter how long it takes.

Is that okay?

Yes, thank you.

These people, they
can't hurt you anymore.

But you already
know that, don't you?

What is it?

What is it?

It's gone.

The probabilities.

I can't see them anymore.

Martin Bohm!

It's all right, I'll
be right back.

It doesn't happen very often,

but everything
you've told me is true.

It tracked.

You're free to go.

Thank you.

Detective, there's
one more thing.

JAKE: There are infinite
ways to communicate.

Some better than others.

Calvin Norburg.

I'm here to arrest you.

I never meant to hurt anybody.

I just wanted my brother back.

Yeah.

JAKE: Signals, signs, patterns,

mathematical in
design, all around us.

[handcuffs clicking]

You just have to
know how to see them.

How we read these subtle cues

determines the
course of our lives.

Language is considered the
ultimate form of communication,

designed to optimize our
connection to each other.

MAN [over TV]: Federal
authorities estimate

fraud allegations could total

billions of dollars.

But the charges of
kidnapping and torture

rank the CEO of Aster
Corps, Nicole Farington,

among the most
notorious criminals

in the history of
corporate America.

JAKE: Today, the
average person will say

2,520 words to 7.4
other individuals.

Yet change the language,

one border to the next,
and we are hopeless.

Stumbling to explain
the simplest of concepts:

"I want."

"I am."

"I love."

This is the letter that
Mommy wrote to you.

"Dearest Jake,

"I want you to
know that if I could,

"I would always
be there with you.

"I love you so much.

"I always want you to know

"how brave and special you are.

A thousand kisses, Mommy."

She's right, you know.

You're the bravest
person I know, Jake.

And I'm so proud of you.

Come on, buddy.

It's time to go to sleep.

[knocking on door]

Avram.

Avram, my God.

What happened to you?

It's a long story, Martin.

Uh, suffice it to say, I have

been through the looking glass

and back again, hopefully

with a bit more wisdom.

It's over. Everything.

The threat to Jake and
Amelia, Aster Corps, it's all over.

Yes, yes, I know all about it.

I have packed my bags.

Why? What do you mean?

I can no longer take part.

I can't.

It's not my place.

I am going back to my own life.

But first...

How did you get this?

Jake gave it to me.

It wound up

in his hands for a reason,

just like the cipher.

It's meant to be carried by

the protector of the 36.

Protector? He's not even 12.

Yes, he is very young.

So I'm giving it to you.

For now, Martin, you

are the protector.

Good-bye, Martin Bohm.

May God watch over you

and your boy.

[speaks Hebrew]

Avram.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for being my friend.

Indeed.

JAKE: My name is Jake. I
was born on October 26, 2000.

I've been alive for 11 years,
nine months and 12 days.

And in all that time, I've
only said a few words.

But I'm getting
the hang of it now.

And there's a lot
more I have to say.
